OK, this is not starting an illegal immigration debate, I am merely using it as the real-world example of the dilema I am in.
That out of the way, here we go.
Last weekend there were massive demonstrations put on by the pro-illegal immigration side. I tend to be on the Anti side and wanted to join a counter protest. I called my buddy and asked him if he wanted to go, he tends to avoid confrontations at all costs (normally a good thing) and said he would drive by to see but had no intrest in getting involved. He did bring up a good point worth discussing...
If you attend a protest, pro or con, do you carry? At first I say yes, you would be dumb not to in case things turn violent, but then as I thought about it, if I did have to drop somone who got violent with me and did somthing dumb like pull a knife or had a gun, how far of a leap would it be for a DA or civil lawyer to say that you were there to hurt somone or to be confrontational and end up in deep doo doo.
What do you think?
